Jimmy Attempts To Read All Of Convergence: Week Seven Part Two
(Editor’s Note: Let’s all be kind to Jimmy and pretend it is the week of May 20th. He really does try very hard to get his work done on time. But for someone with commitment issues (ask Ms. Impossible) he can’t seem to say “No” to any project that comes his way. So remember, it’s May 20th, Convergence is not over, and Jimmy is awesome. Thanks from Gabbing Geek.)
Hey everybody! A couple of clunkers in this batch of issues as we finish up the penultimate week of Convergence. I’m looking forward to next week when the finale gets released. I’m sure it will all start making sense at that point. I’m sure nothing crazy and continuity shattering will occur and everything in the New 52 will be just as we left it two months ago.
Be sure to catch up on all the Convergence happenings with coverage of:
Week One: Part One, Part Two
Week Two: Part One, Part Two
Week Three:Part One, Part Two
Week Four:Part One, Part Two
Week Five: Part One, Part Two
Week Six: Part One, Part Two
Week Seven: Part One
Read on for Week Seven spoilers after the break for Convergence Justice League America #2, Convergence Green Lantern Corps #2, Convergence New Teen Titans #2, Convergence Superboy And The Legion Of Super-Heroes #2 and Convergence The Flash #2.

And She Was Dead The Whole Time: The Really Warped History Of Kendra Saunders
DC’s Hawkman has a history that is, to be kind, really screwy. Which Hawkman is who is confusing to long time readers and in the grand scheme of things, Donna “Wonder Girl” Troy is probably the only noteworthy character in DC’s stable that rivals Hawkman for confusing backstories.
But then you get to Hawkgirl Kendra Saunders, and it gets just as weird.

Jimmy Attempts To Read All Of Convergence: Week Five Part One
I’m back baby! (Editor’s Note: Jimmy, you used that two posts ago.) As Convergence continues its trek towards being the most forgettable crossover event ever. The tie ins are not bad, but seem to have little to no bearing on the main book and vice versa. If you like a particular DC character from a particular era, pick up those books. Otherwise, just pick up the main mini-series, which may be of interest.
Be sure to catch up on all the Convergence happenings with coverage of:
Week One: Part One, Part Two
Week Two: Part One, Part Two
Week Three:Part One, Part Two
Week Four:Part One, Part Two
Read on for Week Five spoilers after break for Convergence #5, Convergence Batman And Robin #2, Convergence Superman #2, Convergence Nightwing Oracle #2, Convergence Batgirl #2, and Convergence Harley Quinn #2.

Doing It Right: The Resurrection Of Bucky Barnes
Bringing dead characters back to life in comic books is a given. Readers generally don’t even really believe it when major heroes die anymore. We expect them to come back.
I mean, technically, they’re just drawings on pages, so they can be revived rather easily. You just need a good reason.
How, then, did Marvel pull off resurrecting a character that had been dead for decades in a way that actually worked?

Titans TV Series NOT to Include Danny Chase As a Main Character!
News on a TV series I find so intriguing that I cared enough to write an article on a TV series. Yeah. It’s about DC’s Titans. Per Nerdist: the team will consist of Dick Grayson (he starts as Robin and shifts later to Nightwing), Barbara Gordon (the exact origin as Oracle, but the word “Oracle”is left unsaid in the pilot), Hawk and Dove (the female Dove here, not the original), Raven, and Starfire. No mention of why Danny Chase, the most popular Titan ever*, was not included in the show. We expect massive firings to occur at WB over this.
Here’s my take of the news:

New Batman Cartoon Intended to Sell Toys….Just Like Other Batman Cartoons!
DC is coming off a disappointing Aquaman DVD but they have a new product destined to take my money when the kiddos hear about it.
Two toy lines based on DC Comics’ Justice League characters are being brought to life through animated movies and short films.
“Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts” will debut May 12, as a direct-to-homevideo animated movie that features Batman, the Flash, Red Robin, Nightwing and Green Arrow as they face off against super villain the Penguin, while introducing cyber animals as new foes. A sequel film will be released around the second half of 2015.
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release the “Batman Unlimited” films on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. In addition, WB will also produce 22 two-minute shorts around the “Batman Unlimited” toys, making them available for free on a variety of digital platforms, while a companion app also will provide young fans with access to content.
They HAD to put Nightwing and Red Robin in it. I could have talked the boys off this cash grab otherwise. But my boys love them some Batman Family…
